The Dispute Resolution Forum is subject to all Boards.ie Site
Guidelines.
Posting abusive comments about a moderator you have issue with will result in further action being taken – this could be an escalation of Infraction to ban or a ban to a category ban - this is at the discression of the CMod(s). Your appeal will be closed and no further appeals on the matter will be entertained. We will not allow people to abuse moderators (or indeed any other members) in this forum.
You may not post in a thread that is not related to you, even if you think you’re being helpful, without being invited to do so by the CMod or Admin looking after the issue at hand. This applies to all members of the site.
If you are unclear about something, please ask for
clarification.
Starting a thread here:
Before you start a thread here, please take a moment to read how the Dispute Resolution process works. The process has the following steps:
- If you have an issue with a ban or infraction, the first
thing you should always do is PM the Mod(s) of the forum and ask for clarification on what’s gone wrong.
Please don’t expect an answer straight away, Mods are volunteers and are not always in a position to deal with your issue. Give it at least a day.
- If you don’t feel satisfied with the answer, or if you
haven’t had an answer in more than 2 days, you should start a new thread here in the Dispute Resolution Forum.
When you start this thread, please state what forum you have an issue with, provide links to the thread if applicable (you can get the link by logging out if you’ve been banned from the forum).
- A CMod will then investigate and discuss with you and the
Mod(s) involved. They may invite the Mod(s) or any other members involved to post on the thread to clarify things.
- After these discussions, the CMod will post their decision.
- If you feel that the outcome to this is unsatisfactory, you
may request an Admin to look things over.
An Admin’s decision is final.
Private message conversations in relation to the topic at hand are ok to publish in this forum in an attempt to resolve an issue. This is contrary to normal Boards.ie Guidelines that permission be sought before publication of any PMs sent or received.
